Hosted by the Morgantown Sister Cities Commission, the Taco Tuesday Fundraiser will kick off the month-long Raíces & Vecinos (“Roots & Neighbors”), a communications and community outreach campaign celebrating Hispanic and Latino Heritage. They will be highlighting the people, places, and cultural contributions of Morgantown’s Hispanic and Latino community from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15. The campaign draws inspiration from Morgantown’s sister city relationship with Guanajuato, Mexico, a historic city recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for its cultural significance and as the birthplace of renowned muralist Diego Rivera.
This event is free to attend, but donations are encouraged, with proceeds from the evening benefiting the local immigrant family crisis fund through Morgantown Area Youth Services Project, Inc. The event will feature food donated by community supporters and Latin music.
